CRAG Book Sale: 200 new additions

Clive, this is excellent.  I'm very impressed.

Now that Cornerstone is selling books (£1 each, shared equally between the Corner House and the Cornerstone Project itself), I'm mostly supplying them with books, to encourage a regular turnover, rather than listing stock online .. though there is still a selection here at 50p each.

To help raise money for CRAG, I've taken over most of the Wychwood Press back catalogue from Jon Carpenter, and now have a variety of books of local interest listed here:  mostly new, reduced-price and out-of-print (except for my dwindling stock) .. and some of them in particular being essential additions to any locally-minded Charlburian's library.

For all the above, people can buy through the website or (even better) text me direct on 07555 608780, which avoids the internet fees and means that more money will reach CRAG and/or the Corner House.

Just to clear up one point, you can ask for the whole list, or simply the category or categories that interest you.

I should also have mentioned that we are always happy to accept contributions, so if you're clearing out your bookshelves feel free to give us all those you no longer want.  I'm in Tanners Court, Charlbury, but we may well be able to come and collect donations.

The list has been broken up into the following sections: Fiction; Non-Fiction/Reference; Children’s and YAF; Food, Wine, and Cookery; UK Travel; International Travel. Simply reply to this posting (or email us at capricornclive@aol.com) and we will email you the complete list, which includes notes on payment, collections, and delivery.
